Gitmem MCP Server

GitMem is an MCP server that gives your AI coding agent persistent learning memory across agent sessions. It remembers mistakes (scars), successes (wins), and decisions - so your agent learns from experience instead of starting from scratch every time. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting memory tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Gitmem

before you install - you'll need

Set SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY, OPENROUTER_API_KEY before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add gitmem-dev-gitmem -- npx -y gitmem-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitmem-dev-gitmem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "gitmem-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
